Dynamic Digital Representations inArchitectureVisions in Motion

Imdat As, University of Notre Dame, USA and Daniel Schodek, Harvard Graduate School of Design, USA

Graphic communication in architecture has made a dramatic shift from traditionaldrafting practices to dynamic and hyper-medial representations. This book provides aconcise and practical introduction to new ways of architectural representation. Itconveys principles and guidelines for producing in-depth dynamic representations fordesign projects and illustrates them with examples of studio work. Advanced digitalmedia techniques and dynamic representations are introduced as primary emergingmodes of architectural representation, with techniques such as 3D modelling,animations, montage, virtual and augmented realities, and other digitally-basedtechniques also addressed.

Representing Landscape ArchitectureEdited by Marc Treib, University of California at Berkeley,USA

Representing Landscape Architecture offers a broad investigation of how the designedlandscape is and has been represented: for design study, for criticism and even for itsrealization.

It has been said that we can only realize what we can imagine. But in order to realizewe must convey ideas to others as well as to ourselves. Representation is by no meansneutral and the process of communication, the process by which the imagination takesits first form, itself necessarily limits the range of our design possibilities. Computersfurther remove from cognitive processes and raise new questions about methods andlimits.

Written by a team of renowned practitioners and academics, this book is the bestavailable reference to date on the many dimensions of landscape representation.

Edited by Adam Ritchie and Randall Thomas, bothConsultants, Max Fordham LLP, London, UK

By the end of the twenty-first century it is thought that three-quarters of the world’spopulation will be urban; our future is in cities. Making these cities healthy, vibrant andsustainable is an exceptional challenge which this book addresses. It sets out some ofthe basic principles of the design of our future cities and, through a series of carefullyselected case studies from leading designers’ experience, illustrates how these ideascan be put into practice.

Building on the first edition’s original format of design guidance and case studies, thisnew edition updates the ideas and techniques resulting from further research andpractice by the contributors. This book emphasizes the enormous progress madetowards exciting new designs that integrate good design with resource efficiency.

Edited by Irena Murray and Julian Osley

Introduction by Alan Powers

Le Corbusier (1887-1965) is arguably the most influential architect of the twentiethcentury. Despite the fact that he designed no permanent buildings in the UnitedKingdom, more than any other individual he was responsible for shaping British post-war architecture.

Le Corbusier and Britain traces the growing awareness of work by this visionary figurein contemporary architecture journals and the popular press. Contributions by suchprominent architects and critics as Edwin Lutyens, Herbert Read, Evelyn Waugh, PeterSmithson, Jane Drew, Basil Spence, and Christopher Brooker are accompanied by 150illustrations, together with writings and drawings by Le Corbusier himself.

Also featuring the most comprehensive bibliography of British writings by and about Le Corbusier ever published, this book is an invaluable addition to the study ofarchitecture.
